The California gray wolf is still a loner and while the state government want what's best for the lone species of gray wolf, state ranchers are not thrilled of the special attention the wild animal is getting.
According to Newsmax, the California gray wolf is still a loner sine it is running around the Golden State without any other company.
State officials say the lone gray wolf may have wandered into Northern California after running off from a pack in Oregon. They also claim that authorities should at least wait for at least 90 days prior to deciding whether the California gray wolf that is still a loner needs protection.
The California Fish and Game Commission intitially said that they really couldn't decide whether the lone animal should be provided with protection or not.
Inquisitr reports that the lone California gray wolf known as OR-7 is the first sighting of the said species in Northern Cali since 1924.
Californians reportedly killed off the gray wolf population back then to give way to the booming ranching and livestock businesses, according to FoxNews.
An updated report from Inquisitr says state ranchers have expressed their disagreement to the possibility of the state granting the lone wild animal protection.
State ranchers believe that although the California gray wolf is still a loner, allowing it to thrive will pave the way to the comeback of its notorious tribe in the region.
Meanwhile, since the California gray wolf is still a loner, the state is having a dilemma on whether it should be listed as an endangered species or not.
Several critics claim that because the state hadn't had any gray wolves since the '20s, the loner animal could not be classified as endangered. "The species is not at risk of disappearing in the state of California. It is, rather, reappearing."
On the other hand, there are also Californians who are not actually against the prospect of the gray wolf pack to make a comeback in their area.
"There's no requirement under the state act that you have a breeding population or a continuous presence of the species. Wolves aren't gods and they aren't devils. Wolves are pretty magnificent and they have a key role in the ecosystem," the concerned citizens said quoting Amaroq Weiss of the Center for Biological Diversity, Newsmax reports.
